research he Online Academy was funded by the U. S. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) three years ago to develop 22 e-learning instructional modules for use in pre-service (higher education) programs. The modules encompassed three content areas (Reading, Technology in Education and Positive Behavioral Support), and incorporated the best practices that could be derived from valid research findings. Two years into that project, OSEP determined that the self-contained and content-rich modules would be equally applicable to, if not more relevant for, in-service (professional staff development) training needs. Therefore, in year-3 of the Academy grant, a supplement was provided to develop a small number of exemplary online modules for staff development, on topics of high national concern. The staff development project contained three elements: 1) determine what content areas or topics were most important for future staff development needs; 2) develop new modules, one each, in each of the top five areas; and 3) work with state and local education agencies to implement a staff development model using existing and new modules. After conducting a national survey online and through focus groups, an inventory of over 100 key areas of assessed staff development needs was compiled. The top five were determined, and experts in each area were employed to outline the contents of a sample module. These nationally recognized experts are currently working with Academy staff to write and produce the five new modules for use in the staff development project. The academy is also working with select state and local education agencies to pilot test and implement the system.

June 1998 ERIC Trends in Staff Development for Adult ESL Instructors National Center for ESL Literacy Education (NCLE) by Miriam Burt and Fran Keenan National Center for ESL Literacy Education What do instructors need to know? How adults learn best and how instruction can best facilitate this learning . Some principles of adult learning include: New knowledge has to be integrated with previous knowledge; that requires active learner participation. Collaborative modes of teaching and learning enhance the self-concepts of those involved and result in more meaningful and effective learning. Adult learning is facilitated when teaching activities promote question asking and answering, problem finding, and problem solving. Adult skill learning is facilitated when individual learners can assess their own skills and strategies to discover inadequacies or limitations for themselves. (Dewar, 1996). How adults learn a second language How to teach others from a variety of cultures What is effective staff development? What are some national efforts and policies?

Summer 2001 Vol. 12, No. 2 Tennessee Tackles Reading By Katie Cour As a result of a report requested by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1999, reading became a major focus of the 2001 session. The report found that Tennessee is the only southeastern state without a statewide reading initiative. That fact, coupled with news of an impending teacher shortage and the benefits of pre-kindergarten programs, led concerned state leaders to propose an education reform package. As the 2001 session came to a close, legislators, educators, parents and the governor all sighed with relief as education reform-including a statewide reading initiative-will begin taking shape next year, assuming the necessary funding also is passed. Results from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) and Tennessee's Comprehensive Assessment Program have indicated what many feared: Tennessee students are not achieving high or even adequate levels in reading. Low scores on reading assessments and a general concern about reading in the state led the
